The one-minute garden guide
Look. Ask. Then touch.
Some rooftop pods are privately tended by residents. Please don't pick, move, water, trim, or remove plants, flowers, soil, labels, supports, pots, or garden items unless the gardener has invited you.
Ask before watering
A helpful extra drink can still be too much for a plant.
Leave pots in place
Pots, labels, supports, soil, and tools belong with their planter.
Ask before trimming
Gardeners may be saving a bloom, seed, or branch for a reason.
If you're curious, ask. Gardeners are usually happy to talk plants.

Garden FAQ
Good questions are welcome.
This page handles garden context. Official building matters still belong with management and the official resident portal.
Visit the official resident portalWhat are rooftop garden pods?
They are small planters or plots cared for by individual residents. Think of each one as a neighbor's little garden.
Can I pick a flower, herb, or tomato?
Please ask the gardener first. Something that looks ready may be part of a family meal, seed-saving project, or learning activity.
Should I help by watering?
Only when a planter is marked for help or a gardener has asked you. Too much water can harm a plant as easily as too little.
